Bradford Bulls - RedAmberandBlack.net • Re: Leeds - Challenge Cup

Interesting point I picked up whilst watching back the replay this evening on BBC iPlayer. Jamie Peacock in the post-match interview states that Leeds have told their squad this week who will be staying and who's going at the end of the season. Nobody called Jordan Lilley personally to tell him the news, his agent was asked to inform him of his release. That obviously spurred on Lilley during today's game, it could also explain why some of the Leeds players that now know they won't be playing a part in 2020 are performing so badly.

It does appear to be a bit of a 'jobs for the boys' mentality at Headingley at the moment. Sinfield, Peacock and Chev Walker all involved today. You'd assume that if they really wanted it, Jones Buchanan and Burrow could walk into a job. Perhaps therein lies the problem.

Anyway, what a glorious afternoon of Rugby League.
